Teensy-tiny PC uses eensy-weensy wattage
Desktop PCs are getting tiny, but Shuttle is making one of the smallest I’ve seen around. Just 10" long x 7" wide x less than 3" tall, the X27 mini-PC uses a proportionately tiny amount of energy.
It consumes just 36 watts when active and 23 when idle, compared to the 70-250 watts a regular-sized desktop uses. So it is like having a laptop without the keyboard, mouse, or monitor. It will use Intel’s Atom low-power chip and runs nearly inaudibly.
The new model will be shown off at the consumer electronics show IFA in Berlin, which starts Friday, and we might hear word about pricing after that.
This could be competition with Dell’s (way, way cooler looking) new Studio Hybrid, though we don’t know the EPEAT status on the Shuttle X27 yet.
